Quote

In the end we must be merciful to the fallen, show grace to struggling, and be patient with the doubting. But when God's Word is clear we must not-and we cannot-back up, back off, back down, back out, or backslide from the truth.

Forgiveness must be immediate, whether or not a person asks for it. Trust must be rebuilt over time. Trust requires a track record. If someone hurts you repeatedly, you are commanded by God to forgive them instantly, but you are not expected to trust them immediately, and you are not expected to continue allowing them to hurt you.

Rick Warren
Image
In deep pain, people don't need logic, advice, encouragement, or even Scripture. They just need you to show up and shut up.
Rick Warren
Image
We are created for community, fashioned for fellowship, and formed for a family, and none of us can fulfill God's purposes by ourselves.
Rick Warren
Image
Instead of focusing on that unappeasable person, refocus on Jesus, who accepts you unconditionally.
Rick Warren
Image
We must learn to share the gospel in ways that show it is both GOOD and NEWS. The gospel is about what God has done for us and what we can become in Christ
Rick Warren
Image
We are products of our past, but we don't have to be prisoners of it.
Rick Warren
Image
We're not completely happy here because we're not supposed to be!
Rick Warren
Image
People are always more encouraged when we share how God's grace helped us in weakness than when we brag about our strengths.

There is an entire generation who was too young to read 'The Purpose Driven Life' 10 years ago but are now asking the critical question, 'What on earth am I here for?'
